Earth Day Tip: Dishtowels

Since everyone else is sharing their Earth Day eco tips today, I thought I would too. Rob and I try to be environmentally friendly and San Francisco makes it easy. We only drive once a week. Eat vegetarian mostly. Recycle. Drink tap water. Use reusable grocery bags. Special light bulbs. Buy organics. Yada, yada, yada. You've heard it before.

The one tip I love is using dishtowels instead of paper towels. There's a drawer full of dishtowels in the kitchen and the dirties get washed with our laundry each week. They're easy to grab anytime I'm cooking and last forever. I haven't bought a roll of paper towels in probably two years. Plus, they're pretty.

Need some motivation? Target has designer dishtowels by Dwell and Sur La Table has frenchie towels for $4.95.

I love vintage linens of any sort, but especially old napkins (which I routinely use instead of paper ones) and old dishtowels. Depending upon the era, they can be quite cute! I also love to find old Irish linen ones!
